Descripción
ESPRESSO is a fiber feed ultrastable High Resolution Spectrograph
designed to work in the Combined-Coudé focus of Very Large
Telescopes (VLT). A high resolution (R 100000) and an ultra-high
resolution (R 220000) mode will be available to collect the light coming
of one VLT telescope. In addition, ESPRESSO has an observing mode which
allows to collect light of 2, 3 or 4 VLT units. This mode can feed
simultaneously the spectrograph using a 4x1 fiber combiner. In the
combiner, the light from 4 octagonal fibers will be mixed when projected
onto a square fiber, as a double scrambler device. Here it is presented
the design, manufacture, integration and tests for the 4x1 combiner of
the ESPRESSO Fiber Link.
